Description

“The emergence of Jodie Michael on Sydney’s jazz scene is even more notable because she is a drummer with an uncommonly fluid rhythmic sense”. John Shand, Sydney Morning Herald

Back in 2013, Jodie Michael won the Jann Rutherford Memorial in 2013 which gave her the opportunity to lead her trio in their first performances at Foundry 616. Since then, the band has continued to make a name for itself.

Jodie Michael was hailed as a major talent almost a decade ago, with a fearsome energy, great technique and attitude in spades. Inspired by drummers such as Tony Williams (Miles Davis) and Elvin Jones (John Coltrane), she plays with passion and total commitment.

Jodie has also led her group, Broken Time, at Foundry616. For this trio performance, the musicians will explore the sonic possibilities offered when a dominant harmonic instrument is left out. Their repertoire is drawn from a bop and avant-garde vocabulary born from the jazz music idiom, interpreted, as always, through a personal and collectively idiosyncratic lens.
